Double Bass Help me ID this tune!

It's not jazz, but I figure I'd run it past readers first.

It's pop, probably late 60s or early 70s. The notes are the vocal melody. I may not be in the right key (haven't heard any of this but a few seconds in a compilation album commercial over 40 years ago), but you'll get the idea. Thanks!

Tempo?

Tempo?

About 120-150 bmp, IIRC

Bpm, sorry. Phone fingers.

Hmmm this first attempt doesn’t feel right but m. 2 and 3 remind me of 59th street bridge

No, I know Feelin' Groovy. That's not it.

The beginning rhythm reminds me of the chorus from "I know a place" by Petula Clark. That's 1965. After 40 years it might have morphed in your memory.

Thanks for the help! But no, the vocals were male, and the commercial was for a compilation album from the early-mid 70s.

I don't know how old you are, but back then, a comp album ad would play 2-second snippets of a song and then say something like, "Original Hits! Original stars!" Whatever this song is, the snippet came just before "Superstar Elton John!" and then a snippet of Saturday Night's All Right For Fighting

Thanks, but it's not Dazz. I know Dazz- dropped when I was in 7th grade. Still the greatest dance jam of that decade, IMO.

I found it! FWIW, turns out it's a horrible, horrible song, but apparently it was a hit for a brief period. Anyhoo, go to 00:27 or so to hear what I was quoting. Thanks to all!

glad you found it! Must have been a relief to get that bug out of your head. Thanks for sharing
